Our culture
& values
Building a diverse and inclusive
culture where everybody can
thrive and be at their best.
Our values underpin everything we do, from the delivery of our products and services, to recruitment, career development and recognition
We have a distinctive, values-oriented culture brought to life by our diverse and inclusive workforce. It's a key part of our strategy as we know it makes us a stronger, more dynamic and collaborative business.
We introduced Connected Working, enabling our people to stay connected with their team and the wider Auto Trader community whilst maintaining our collaborative culture, no matter where they're working from.
Our values shape our culture
and define what we stand for
We connect and understand each other, respect our differences and focus on finding common ground. We are committed to making a difference in the communities around us.
We look up, listen, think beyond the obvious and find the Auto Trader way. We’re restless and always thinking about what’s next.
We share in our failures as well as our successes. We earn our place and take nothing for granted.
We get stuck in and have the conviction to make big things happen. We persevere and aren’t scared to do the hard thing.
We crack on, trusting our instincts, data and experience. We sometimes disagree, but we always commit and deliver together.
Our ability to change and change again is our greatest strength. We act for the long term, accept uncertainty and challenge everything.
We continue to grow and invest in our people, creating an environment where there is increasing alignment between employees, customers and shareholders.

Our culture helps me excel in my role mainly because it doesn't matter where you are, you're always connected to the workplace — to your colleagues, to whatever work you're doing.

Connected Working has given me a new lease of life with my young children at home. I’m there for them but also immediately accessible for my colleagues, at all times.

Work-life balance is great. You've got the ability to work the hours that suit you, whilst still doing and excelling at your job, at the same time.
